When it rains, it pours. In business, in relationships, in life, there are always those days, weeks, months and sometimes even years that nothing seems to go your way.

I have experienced this very phenomena over the month of March. Even though I celebrated my birthday in March, it could not outshine the darkness that billowed throughout the month.

My favorite cloud of despair was when I lost myself. Not physically of course, but The Dani, the handbag that designer Nancy Gale had named after me disappeared.

A little background . . .

When Nancy first told me about The Dani, she sent me an email that included the link www.jamah.com/classic-couture-collection/the-dani. I was speechless, honored and crying with joy when she called shortly thereafter. I’m actually still in shock to be honest. Nancy and I met just seven months ago but there’s a kinship between us that is wonderfully pure and true. I was delighted to carry myself!

The one time I decide to carry another bag (What was I thinking?!) and leave myself home, I went missing; kidnapped perhaps?

When I discovered the tragedy, I was incredibly upset and absolutely mortified. It’s ironic, really. I felt like disappearing a few times this month and it actually happened. Quite the metaphor, one might conclude.

After two weeks of denial and fear, I finally shared the horrific news with Nancy. And what did she do? She laughed! “Of all things and all people,” she said smiling. A weight had been lifted and a new Dani is in the works.

So, when you lose yourself, take a deep breath, embrace the moment, lean on those that care for you, fight your way to freedom and then go out and buy yourself something pretty, The Dani perhaps!?
